The Netherlands Education Group
The course takes place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where you can find everything for productive learning English with a full “immersion” in the language environment and recreation.
Every weekday from Monday to Friday you will have 1 English language lesson (hour). So you will have 5 lessons (hours) per week.
For an extra fee, you can request extra lessons, but our experience shows that 5 lessons per week can provide high effectiveness of a learning process and there is no need for extra lessons. In addition to the lessons, you can enjoy different activities every day that can help you to practise your language skills – sightseeing tours, excursions, guided city walks, meetups, visits to various organizations, etc.
Different activities follow each other, so you will not feel tired during the day. The course is conducted by professional teachers who have passed strict selection. They all are native speakers.
What is the process?
Before your arrival we ask you about your learning needs – why would you like to improve English and what exactly you would like to achieve. You might be invited for a skype conversation with us. After the conversation, we will design the structure of the lessons accordingly.
You will also take a test in order to determine your level.
The Basic course is focused on General English to improve speaking skills, grammar, or both (you can choose). You could also pay attention to Business English or another specialized field. If you are looking for something very special – please mention it in your application form.
We also offer classes focused on International English Tests preparation – IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge, and others. We recommend taking 2-step learning – first improve General English and only then start a specialized preparation for the particular international English test.
At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate confirming your English language level.

I would like to commend the studying of the course by awarding it a perfect score of 5 out 5. The teaching delivered by Luther McGinnis and Patricia I. Turner was exceptional. The sessions were highly interactive and engaging. The topic on public speaking stood out to me as particularly valuable, with practical exercises and tips that were immensely useful. We also covered several grammar topics and expanded our vocabulary significantly, which greatly enhanced the learning experience.
Alongside the academic curriculum, we had a number of training sessions and city excursions. These excursions were equally engaging, they generally provided an excellent opportunity to practice English and network with local students.
I want to express my gratitude to the course for offering me a new experience, and I must say that the Netherlands is an incredibly beautiful country.
Very good chance for my job and my holiday. I have made the most of it. Thanks to language Courses. Good experience, I liked the homestay and the hospitality, and the other students and the facilities in the nearby
